Backpack Sprayers ... Which one? > Do It Yourself

Posted: 7/13/2006 3:43:24 PM EDT

I want to spray a whole lot of weedkiller around home and in the overgrown family cemetery.

Which backpack sprayer (the hand pump variety) should I get?

I have a Solo I got used and it is not a very good one (may just be this one).

TIA

I have a Solo 425 sprayer that is 12 years old and still kicks like new.

I think that's what mine is.

Do you have to pump yours up then spray some like a regular sprayer?

I have to pump mine as I'm going along. I've never used one of these before BTW.

My sprayer has a handle on the side for the pump and you give it 4 or 5 and it will spray for 2 minutes or so, best thing is that I can do 4 gallons at a time and not drag it around like the small ones.

Mine must be bad then.

I brought a Shindawa this afternoon, the pro model. Will try it out in the morning if not raining.

Thanks Mark!
